If blood calcium levels drop, the parathyroid gland releases the
hormone called ____________ . This hormone has multiple
effects.
(1) The hormone stimulates bone cells to break down bone tissue
and ____________ calcium ion into the
blood.
(2) The hormone stimulates
the ____________ to conserve calcium ions,
preventing their excretion, and to activate
vitamin ____________ which increases calcium
uptake from the diet.
(3) The hormone increases
the ____________ of calcium from the
intestines.
The result of the these hormonal effects is
to ____________ blood calcium levels.
Hyperparathyroidism is a rare disorder resulting from overactive
parathyroid glands (they secrete too much parathyroid hormone, or
PTH). Where does PTH act and what does it do? What do you think
happens to the bones of people with this disorder and why? How does
this disorder relate to osteoporosis? What other body systems might
be affected?
